While at Puerto Rico's annual food festival, Saborea, POPSUGAR Latina spoke to Puerto Rico Tourism Company's executive chef Norma Llop about the exciting future of wedding cakes and her take on their new direction. And let's just say figurines atop a fondant-laced creation will soon be a distant memory.

1. Buttercream

Bid farewell to traditional perfect-looking fondant, because buttercream is taking its place as the wedding
cake icing of choice. "Buttercream is lighter, fluffier, and cuter,"
Norma offered, explaining its rise in popularity. "It's relatively easy.
It's not sweet." All these factors add up to one end result: more,

2. Naked Cakes

If you'd rather just eat the cake instead of having to nibble your
way through a layer of frosting, meet the naked cake. It's completely
bare of toppings and totally customizable — everything from the flavor,
coloring, and even the actual shape of the cake can be personalized. One
pro tip you should follow if you choose to go this way: to create a
smooth, crumb-free finish, Norma recommends adding chocolate (or some
other kind of moisture-rich ingredient) to the mix.

3. Cheesecakes

Cheesecake fans, rejoice! Now is the time for your favorite dessert
to shine. But it doesn't have to be a plain old recipe; consider, for
example, spicy cheesecake. To achieve the Latin-inspired take on
the classic sweet treat, simply use a peppered cheese instead of the
standard creamy variety. It'll add some heat while simultaneously
satisfying your postreception dinner cravings.
